We aren't in the room so all we can do is guess.

How about a nice bag skate for last night's performance?

Okay. Slam dunk. I think its part of Kevyn Adams' desire to treat his players with some respect. He's not going to dump him unceremoniously just because the shiny new toy arrived.

They aren't going to discard him like Kleenex. He might retire early. But the whole reason he's here is to serve as a goaltending player/coach. Against college talent. Remember that.

Or Youppi takes his head off and it's Deadpool!

That's his partner in Wrexham. Of which I'm a customer.

That would be a horrible thing. No way he's going to be ready at 22 for the NHL. There's going to be a big adjustment just from college to the AHL. Heck, he may end up the ECHL for a while. (Assuming we don't trade him to Montreal first, lol.) He's 21. It takes goalies longer to get to NHL level. We aren't carrying 4 goalies.

They totally forgot how to play hockey.

Casey is having a game. 😕

That wasn't even a pass.

I was going to say they played well on defense at least. They are frustrating the Kings. We had a few decent chances but mostly it's been awkward. Does Don the hockey whisperer think a little unfamiliarity will get them to focus better?

Just Western trips.

It's both. The thing with UPL that isn't reflected in his stats are the huge saves he'll make late in a game. So yeah, he let in 3-4 goals but he stops a 2-on-1 late that allows us to win.

UPL is a big reason why we got back into playoff contention. Quite the trick to do that while "sucking."

I've watched every game since Granato became head coach. The journey is the most enjoyable part.

Because a lot of that was the way we played in front of him. Calgary was running a practice drill.

Obviously. That was Ray at his drollest.

Holy crap, who left the puck in front of UPL?

I'm late mentioning this but did anyone catch that Rob Ray gem on Krebs penalty? "That's an embellishment, when you get a stick to the back "

I know, man.

What a couple.

Some do. LA, Dallas, Boston. But almost every market has to put something in, like infrastructure improvements. Bob Kraft paid for Gillette but the state also committed to improving Route 1 and train access.

You want an NFL franchise in Buffalo? Sadly this area can't swing it without sweeteners. Hey, I support you taking a hard line with billionaire owners. Just don't shed any tears when the moving vans arrive.
